About this Event
A Tour Of Her Own is proud to partner with Van Ness Main Street and UDC to present a special outdoor showing of the hit film, Hidden Figures. This film screening is SOLD OUT but TOHO supporters have access to special tickets with limited availability.
Join us for this special TOHO small group outing as we enjoy a film that celebrates the often overlooked contributions of women in STEM. TOHO attendees will also enjoy a special sneak peek reading from our new book, 111 Places In Women's History in Washington, DC That You Must Not Miss that shares how these Hidden Figures are honored in DC today.
* TOHO ticket holders should plan to meet at 7:30 for introductions and the book reading. Look for the TOHO logo in the crowd! Registration required.
